General Practitioners - Torrance, CA

"On my first visit, she shuffled into the exam room in floppy slippers looking at a chart, began talking about the little that was in it without introducing herself or greeting me. Seemed bored. On the next visit she questioned a prior specialist's treatment without knowing anything about the situation. Then she referred me to a sub-standard orthopedist. Switching immediately. (NO issues with staff, they were great.)"

"I was in a motorcycle accident in Lake Elsinore and was told to follow up with my personal physician after I left the hospital. I suffered from a very stiff neck and deep road rash on both arms. I went to Dr. Khan and after waiting over an hour was finally seen by him. I still had the bandages on both arms and explained to him what had happened. He looked under one of the many bandages I had on, and didn't even look at the deepest wounds. He had me rotate my head left and right, rotate my shoulders once and declared I would be fine and to come see him in three months (no review of injuries, no xrays, etc). When I went to check out the nurses didn't believe me that the Dr. did not refer me to any specialists. They had to go personally ask him whereupon he said I did not need any. You could tell that they too were perplexed. Needless to say I changed doctors. Terrible!"

"Dr. Nilsa Laborde has completely lost my trust in her to be my doctor. She violated me and disregarded my voice as a patient. I originally went in because I’m concerned about very sharp chest and back pains. However, I ended up leaving with my first pap smear done to me COMPLETELY AGAINST MY WILL. I’m 19 and when asked if I wanted to do it, I said “no” seeing as how I was completely unprepared for such a thing. When I said no, my doctor shut the door behind us and she began to yell at me for not wanting to go through with it. When she was done yelling, she told me to take my clothes off and she continued with the procedure. I was humiliated. With her and a nurse standing by seeing me, I wanted to cry. She did not even warn me before she began the process, and I didn’t expect it to be as painful as it was. As for my back pain, she wrote me a prescription for ADVIL. Please let that sink in. I was humiliated and violated today and I don’t want anyone to experience what I did this morning. Horrible staff. Horrible doctor. Very unprofessional. Also has made me wait over 2 hours to be seen. If I could give this woman negative stars I would. "
